3.5 Application Modes

Two application modes are available : Weigh and Checkweigh. To enable the Checkweigh mode, Checkweigh must be turned on in the Mode menu (refer to Section 3.7.5).

3.5.1 Weighing

Determines the weight of an item in the selected unit of measure. Scale is shipped with kilograms (kg) and pounds (lb) enabled. To enable other units of measure, they must be turned on in the Unit menu (refer to Section 3.7.4).

3.5.2 C h e ckw e i gh i ng

Use this mode to compare the weight of an item to Under and Over target limits. When the checkweigh mode is enabled, the “CHECK” indicator will turn on.

To set the target limits, refer to Section 3.6 Checkweigh Target Settings.

Place the sample on the weighing pan. If the sample weight is under the target weight range, the yellow LED will light. If the sample is within the target weight range, the green LED will light. If the sample is over the target weight range, the red LED will light. The LED indication is complemented by an audible alert feature (refer to Section 3.7.5).

Normal Checkweighing Set both targets as positive values, where the lightest acceptable weight is entered as the Under target limit and the heaviest acceptable weight is entered as the Over target limit. Items placed on the pan will be compared to the targets.

Valor 5000 Series

Negative Checkweighing In “Negative” checkweighing, the part of an item subsequently removed from the pan is checked against the target limits. This method may be preferred in portioning applications.

• Set both targets as negative values, where the lightest acceptable weight is entered as the Under target limit and the heaviest acceptable weight is entered as the Over target limit.

• Place a quantity of items on the pan.

• Tare the items.

• Remove a portion of the items from the pan.

• The amount removed will be compared to the targets.

“Zero” Checkweighing In ”Zero” checkweighing, displayed results will show the deviation of the sample’s weight from a reference or ideal weight. This approach may be more preferred for grading or sorting applications.

• Set the targets using a negative value (negative tolerance) for the Under limit and a positive value (positive tolerance) for the Over limit.

• Place the reference weight on the pan.

• Tare the reference weight and remove it from the pan.

• Place the item on the pan to be checked against the reference weight.

• The display will show a negative, positive or ‘0” value if the sample is less than, more than or equal to the reference weight, respectively.

EN-12

3.6 Checkweigh Target Settings

To set the target limits, begin by pressing the TARGET button. The value of the Under target limit will be displayed first, with the left-most digit blinking.

3.8 Legal for Trade Settings

The Scale is designed to comply with OIML, EEC, weights and measures regulations. These approvals may be pending; contact Ohaus for further details about availability.

Note: Consult your local Weights and measures office for their regulations before placing the scale into a Legal for Trade application.

When the LFT menu item setting is On, the following conditions apply:

• The Calibration (CAL) sub-menu is hidden.

• The Calibration Lock (LCAL) menu item is hidden.

• The Auto Zero Tracking (AZt) menu item is set to 0.5 d.

• lb:oz and P units are disabled.

When the weights and measures official has approved the scale for use, it should be sealed as shown in Section 3.9.

3.9 Sealing the Scale

When used in conjunction with the Lockout menu and the security switch, the scale may be sealed to prevent or detect unauthorized changes to scale settings. For Legal for Trade applications, set the LFT menu item to ON, set the security slide to the On position (by sliding the switch to cover the screw), then seal the scale to prevent access to the metrological parameters. Seal the scale according to the local weights and measures regulations. Sliding the switch to the ON position in V51PHXX models will freeze the menu item settings in their

current state To regain access to the scale settings, break the seal and set the security slide to the OFF position.
